Toul whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, ENGELBERT L.

The standard B is in the form of a wedge shaped peg and the upper orlarger end JAwoizEK, a citizen of the United States, thereof is providedwith a block 6 having 55 residing at Hoquiam, in the county of GraysHarbor and State of l/Vashington, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements iii an Embroidery-Hoop Holder, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to an embroidery hoop holder and has for itsprincipal object to provide novel means for holding a hoop or circularframe upon a suitable support whereby the piece of work held by the hoopor frame can be easily worked upon with both hands if desired.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this naturewhich will be simple, cheap, durable, and effective.

Another object of the invention is to provide a support including meansfor holdingl the embroidery hoop or framein different positions inrelation thereto.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescrip tion progresses, the invention resides in certain novel featuresof construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as willbe hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing Figure l is a side elevation of the device embodying myinvention a portion of the clamp beingV shown in section,

Figure 2 is a plan view of the frame,

Figure 3 .is a perspective of the standard or peg, and

Figure l is a detail section taken through the frame substantially onthe line 404; of Figure 2, also showing the peg positioned in relationthereto.

Referring to the drawii'ig` in detail it will be seen that my inventionconsists generally of an embroidery frame A supported on a standard Bwhich in turn is supported by a clamp member C. The frame A consists ofthe outer hoop l and inner hoop 2. The inner hoop 2 is provided withy away 3 formed by the arcuate shaped member et having feet 5 at itsterminals which are suitably attached to the inner hoop 2. The concavedface of the arcuate member 4 facesthe inside of the hoop 2.

arcuate sides so as to fit snugly within the way 3.

The clamp member C includes a body 7 having an upper bar 8 extendingtransversely therefrom for engagement with the upper face of a supportsuch as a table, and a lower bar 9 extending transversely from the lowerend thereof adapted to be disposed below the support on the table. Inthis lower bar 9 there is disposed aclainp screw 65 l0 having a plate llfor engagement with the lower surface of the support or table. The upperend of the body 7 is provided with downwardly tapered opening l2 forreceiviiiff the lower end of the standard B.

lt will thus be seen that the frame A may be rotated to extend in anydesirable relation tothe support to which the clamp C is attached andwith a ylittle pressure upon the standard B will be locked in thedesired position because of the wedge shaped formation of this standardand the opening 12.

y Although l have described my invention with a certain degree ofparticularity it is to be understood that numerous changes in thedetails of construction and in the combination and arrangement of partsmay be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention ashereinafter claimed.

Having thus described my invention what I claim. as new is lncombination, a clamp, a standard rising from the clamp, a block disposedon the upper end of the standard, the thickness of said block being lessthan that of the standard so as to provide a shoulder at the juncture ofthe block with the standard, and an embroidery frame adapted to rest onthe shoulder and including an outer hoop and an inner hoop, an arcuateshaped member
